Seriously?

What was so important that Obama’s ambassador to the UK decided to miss a foreign country honoring one of our leaders on the Fourth of July?

“Our ambassador should be here,” said Lynn de Rothschild, the American entrepreneur who is married to Sir Evelyn de Rothschild and was one of Hillary Clinton’s key fundraisers in 2008 as well as a supporter of several Republican presidential candidates. “This was an historic dinner to mark Reagan’s centenary and to celebrate him as the man who ended the Cold War. What could not be more important?

“Why is our ambassador not here on Independence Day? No excuse. How is it that America is not represented in this room by our ambassador? It is appalling that no representative of our government is in this room. This has the feel of petty partisanship.”

An Obama flunkie not attending an unveiling of a statue honoring President Reagan is an attempted slight against President Reagan’s legacy; where it took place is utterly immaterial.

Of course, the Gods being the Gods and they holding true to the real sons and daughters of America, perhaps it was just the fear of divine retribution. After all, anyone appointed by Obama would profane and desecrate such a ceremony just by being there, as Obama does the White House.

There is no excuse for this. What are we paying this man to represent the United States of America in the U.K.? It’s WAY too much!! Send his little useless self home and find someone who will DO the job!!!!
